Just over a month ago, I began developing my plan to become slim and fit by Memorial Day. One of the first decisions I made was to eliminate that 1 teaspoon of sugar I was putting in my coffee each morning.
It didn’t take but one cup to convince me how difficult some of the healthy decisions I was about to make were going to be.
Within a week, I received an offer to review truvia – nature’s calorie-free sweetener.
The fact that I have ALWAYS turned my nose up at those other ‘pink’ and ‘blue’ packs of sweeteners had me wondering just how this opportunity would turn out.
I had read comments from other dieters who were discussing the stevia plant which is a natural plant used to sweeten foods without adding calories. Most comments I’d read indicated most people were not very fond of using Stevia because it was difficult to measure and using too much resulted in a bitter taste.
The morning after I’d received my sample, I added one packet to my coffee. And let me tell you, it was love at first sip! My coffee tastes exactly like it did when I was adding that 1 teaspoon of sugar – but this leaves no traces of guilt on my lips or my hips!
You can learn about how truvia is made by going to their website and reading about the process. They basically steep the plant, much like tea, then purify it and make it into a powder that you and I can use in our coffee!
I love to bake and the three guys in my house love to eat – so cooking with truvia provides me with the comfort of knowing I’m providing a ‘healthier’ treat and they haven’t a clue that anything is missing. In fact truvia has recipes on their website that were created by “celebrity chef” Marisa Churchill. Check them out here.
truvia is available at Whole Foods, Walmart and most major supermarkets. Click here to find your closest retailer!

Great Article!
I have been using truvia for the past 6 months now and I absolutly love it!! Similar to you, I had made the choice to become slim so I had to make some changes in my diet, cutting the sugar content was one of them. Truvia allows me to still make my coffee and breakfast in the morning taste great without all the nastys of sugar. Loe it thanks!!
I love to bake and I am always trying new recipes. I would replace sugar with truvia in all of my recipes and learn the ones on the website.
